I had a pretty good idea that Bama would give up 14 to the Wildcats. What I didn’t know was that Bama would fumble away and botch, literally, opportunities to score for themselves. That really hurt my game prediction, considering they could have had 13 more points.

 

My prediction was a 34-14 win for the Tide. They won 17-14.

 

Bama moved on to 6-0 (3-0) and the ‘Cats dropped to 4-1 (0-1).

 

 

 

Game of the Week: Auburn vs. Vanderbilt

 

I had a feeling Vandy would come out and play and that Auburn would waste away more opportunities this season. My predictions did not disappoint.

 

Vandy took full advantage of every opportunity and mistake Auburn made. It turned out to be a great game down to the very end.

 

All along I had predicted a one-point game in Vandy’s favor, simply because they were at home and Auburn has struggled with most games this year. The final score was 14-13, when I had predicted a score of 17-16, perhaps my best prediction of the season.

 

 

 

Okay, now on to Week Seven action!

 

 

Alabama

 

Alabama has exceeded expectations of almost every logical thinking fan in the nation.

 

This week off will be great to regroup and refocus on finishing what was started. Undefeated after six games is great, but focus needs to be at directing full devotion to each game, taking them one at a time. That will begin by resting up this week. It’s a long season yet.
